Meh. The coincidence here is that Sweden is a 6 letter word that happens to share its last three letters with the first three of another country. Fair enough, but the latter fact is a tautology and would be true for any word starting with DEN.
The world can do whatever they want as long as Sweden gives back Jemtland and Herjedalen, and Iceland and Færøyene comes back home to the Norway they were stolen from.
Embarrassing fact: during this world cup, Portugal and Congo were playing a match. The letters were POR-COD.
There was a moment when the result was 1-0 so it was POR-COD 1-0. Also readable as PORCODIO, something that in italy is considered blasphemy. So, to avoid this exact situation, they changed the graphic in Italy to PRT-CNG. I wish I was kidding.
It is basically calling god a pig. In italy, the highest grade blasphemies involve calling god some sort of animal name. Pig, dog, snake... anything goes.

When Germany plays England, it's
GER-ENGwith the remaining letters beingMANY-LANDThey really miss Doggerland.
They need to bring back doggerland. The Brits just love dogging...
A land bridge between The Netherlands and England? For the love of God no. There's English people there.
Fixable.
Holy shit.
Matchups that annoy you

No, you may not have any fun.
Thank you for your service 🙏
"AB" and "BC" give "AB" and "BC" if you swap "B" and "B".

Did you run a script over the list of countries to find if other pairs can be used as A, B, C?
I wouldn't know the first thing about running a script like that, but Cyprus and Russia would also fit.

Germany and Yemen work on a technicality. German Y and Y emen. Though that is absurd.
Austria and Australia are a fan favorite, too.
I thought it was obvious but A and B have to be 3-letter FIFA codes. For example JERsey × SEYchelles.
Now we just need someone to make a country with the other options. Swemark and Denden are countries just waiting to be born
As a Norwegian, they won't fool us again with that shit
"Swedenmark" would also work.

They used to be one country — Swedenmark — then they broke apart.
They share custody of the “den.”
True.

What does porcod or porcodio mean?
It is basically calling god a pig. In italy, the highest grade blasphemies involve calling god some sort of animal name. Pig, dog, snake... anything goes.
Similar to when the Pirates played the Phillies:
Very nice. I have happy chemicals in my brain now
One point to Sweden, that's funny af
Only in English.
